2 week Pre-OP
I thought I had it all figured out but little did I know I don't. I need help with ideas of protein drinks and soups. I have to drink 2 protein shakes or a protein soup per day. I need help because I am on a tight budget and I need food that is a reasonable price. Any ideas on the soups I can try or different shakes I can try. Also I need options on different protein bars or protein crisps I can eat for snacks. I need help people...all the help I can get!
Are you supposed to just pick up your own shakes? I got mine from my clinic.
Otherwise, if you or someone you know has a Costco or Sam's Club membership you can get a case of Premier Protein shakes for a pretty good price.
I imagine that lentil or bean soups would be high in protein.
Good luck! When do you start you pre-op diet? I start mine on Tuesday.
Good idea. I got the Sanford Profile, or something like that, which is made by the health care system my WLS clinic is part of and were the best one I tried. Not too thick or too sweet, which is a big deal for me.
Glad you did well. I know I'll survive, ha ha, but am not looking forward to how hard it may be. Especially, the first couple days.
